! CHICAGO, July GOV. J. McGarigie,
convicted boodler, has escaped. All
day to-day every available policeman
and detective in Chicago were trying
VainIy to find him. He was formerly
chief of police of this city. kilograms
had been sent all over the country in
the hope of heading him off, but not
withstsnding these efforts towards his
recapture, little hope is entertained that
he will ever again be in custody of the
people of Cook County, the people at
whose unlawful expense he throve and
| fattened for years. Last evening sheriff
Matson took McGarigle to his residence,
and while there the prisoner asked per-
mission to take a bath. He was per
mitted to enter the bath loom and close
the door. In few moments
the Sheriff called for the pris.
ouer, but the bird had flown.
Although McGarigie was in custody of
the sheriff on the case for which he was
tried and convicted, he was still under
bonds of $50 zoe on twenty other in
dicrments. His bondsmen are NJ. g
Mcdonald and a prominent merchant,
E. J. Lehman. This evening, it is
stated, Attorney Grinnell declared IN
qualiiedly that the bondsmen were yet
liable, and in case McGarigle was not
recaptured, the bonds would certainly
be forfeited.
A novel theory to explain the disap-
pearance of McGarigle was quite gen
orally discussed this evening. The idea
was nothing less than that McGarigle
had been kidnapped. His former com
psnions in the Doodle ring were the
the persons suspected of making away
with him. The motive ascribed is the
fear that McGarigle, whom they IN
doubleday knew, was negotiating with
the States attorney, and would make
such disclosures as would beyond per-
adventure send all the indicted commits
sioners to the penltentiary, and also
involve persons not in Office, but of
Infinitely greater Importance than had
yet been brought to book. The
States attorney acknowledged, tonight,
that the sticking point in the confer.
ences between himself and McGarigle
was the refusal of the latter to say he
would give information duplicating
NJ. G. Mcdonald. To bear out the kid
mapping theory, attention was called to
numerous suspicious circumstances,
slight in themselves, but the greatest
SIreSS is lalQ on the TACT that reCapture
meant to McGarigle rigorous prosecu-
ton on tWeuty-one additional indict-
ments, while a disclosure such as de-
sired guaranteed him freedom and no
risk from the anger of his associates.
Information that States Attorney
Grinnell could not keep his engagement
with McGarigle was, it seems c0mmuni-
Gated to McGarigle before $50 pm.
McGarigle was deeply disappointed and
pleaded with the sheriff to be taken
home anyhow. Chief Clerk Doherty
would be there, McGarigle said, to
make final settlement of the ex-war-
denis accounts. Doherty was not at
McGarigle's residence, and tonight de-
MED having had any appointment with
him. This fact, coupled with the state
ments Of neighbors that a horse and
buggy were waiting last night near
McGaugle's house, tend to confirm the
belief that matters were pre-arranged.
As the residence is within fifteen min
ute's ride of the pier at Evanston, where
rug might easily have been taken, the
inference is drawn in some quarters
that McGarigIe is afoat on Lake Mich
gan. safe on his way to the Straits Of
MackinaT.
